Galerie Koo is delighted to present Enchantée, a view of the charming streets of France and the vibrant cityscapes of Hong Kong. Local artists Kelly Yeung and Haley Chui present a unique fusion of landscapes, inspired by their love of these two iconic locations. Through their brushstrokes, they capture the essence and allure of these cities, paying homage to the rich cultural heritage of both France and Hong Kong.

The exhibition not only showcases the artistic prowess of Kelly and Haley, but also invites the audience to reflect on the importance of cultural exchange, the beauty of diverse traditions, and the universal language of art. It is a celebration of the human spirit, creativity, and the ability of art to connect people from different walks of life.

Kelly Yeung

Kelly Yeung, a Hong Kong native, is a passionate artist who discovered her love for painting and art appreciation at an early age. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Northwood University in 1994, Kelly is actively engaged in the service industry in Hong Kong. However, her true joy stemmed from her artistic pursuits.

Kelly dedicated herself to learning the craft of painting by studying under art tutors and masters, extensively reading about painting techniques, and practising diligently. Her artistic journey began during her adolescence in the United Kingdom and Canada and continued throughout her university years in the United States.

In 2011, Kelly fully embraced her passion for painting, fulfilling a long-held dream. Under the mentorship of Mr. William Chiang since 2018, she has humbly refined her skills and embraced constructive criticism, resulting in a profound mastery of her art.

Kelly's creative process involves capturing life's moments infused with emotional connections, often featuring beloved fluffy pets. Her exposure to different cultures and environments as an overseas student has broadened her perspective, allowing her to depict dream-like scenes from a chic yet adorable viewpoint.

Kelly's works embody the spirit of a relentless dreamer who never ceases to learn, explore, strive, and believe in making dreams a reality.

Haley Chui 

Haley Chui graduated from The Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education, specializing in Early Childhood Education. Although she had little prior experience in drawing and did not study art during her school years, her artistic journey began unexpectedly after a profound personal experience. 

Initially, her approach to painting was casual, but gradually, it evolved into something much more profound. Painting became a window into her mind, enabling her to perceive the beauty of her own surroundings. She realized that she had never truly appreciated the captivating landscapes of her city—Hong Kong, a place brimming with natural splendour. Over the past couple of years, her focus shifted towards capturing the essence of landscapes, believing them to be a universal language of human connection. Through her landscape paintings, she elegantly traces the contours of cherished memories and inner emotions. Each artwork serves as a glimpse into her personal journey as an artist, unveiling her inner world. 

The vibrant colours she employs in her art reflect the intricate tapestry of emotions she harbours towards her city. They encapsulate the artist's delicate and intertwined thoughts, inviting viewers to explore the depths of their own sentiments. In her work, she seamlessly blends the depiction of landscapes with the expression of her innermost self, creating a harmonious fusion of external and internal realms.
